A school representative told WKMG while they cant give specifics into the incident, it was reviewed and found in violation of school policy. The school did not specify the specific code violation that was grounds for the suspension. Well they certainly cleared that all up.
IDIOTS!

What about saying the word gun or bang out loud? I don't think they'd like Yu Yu Hakusho, or South Park… or both together.

Well, the kid had only eight other fingers so it probably was legal. But if they were all barrels then the hand gatling was definitely unacceptable!

Well, there's the gang exclusion. Gang members can even carry real guns to schools, and all around town everywhere.
It's those crazy law abiding citizens; they're the ones the teacher just refuses to "look away" and "not see".
Gang member ? Drug dealer ? Bad a$$ ? No problem, nod, wink.

Did his assault hand have high capacity fingers? Possibly, see the link in post 23.

We had tommy guns, silver colored plastic hand grenades, felxible plastic bayonets on rifles and a Johnny Reb cannon for artillery.
Caps cost money, and we would pool our money and buy a box of rolls and did we have fun. Not everyone had the cap firing guns. Those that didn’t provided their own sound efforts.
We were on the honor system, becasue this was before paintguns.

That's exactly right. It sounds like administrator silliness and overreaction to us, but it's all part of a carefully developed plan for conditioning our youth, rather like slapping a toddler's hand whenever he touches a stove.

I can’t remember firing a “hand gun” at school (that is a gun shape formed by my hand, thumb, and forefinger), but off school grounds my cap guns were blazing in and around the yard of my parents’ Nary a call to the police. This was long before 911.

The only thing these people understand is power and force. The only way to get them to back up is to sue them each and every time they do some stupid crap like this.
To: gaijin
Principal asked them to take off the shirts and when they did not they were sent home and then suspended. Parents need to sue that principle for attempting to force their children to undress. Put one or two of these thought police nazis on a sexual offender list and maybe they'll back off a little.

That will not only get you suspended, but you will find yourself the recipient of full SWAT Team turnout.

What about writing or saying a sentence like "He has be
gun"? Can I get expelled for my use of proper grammar?
What about the big "L" for Loser sign on someone's forehead (think the TV show "Glee")? That's really just a Glock pointed at the sky, isn't it? Why, from that perspective, the entire cast of "Glee" promotes gun violence.

The goal is to raise a generation of eunuchs who will run in terror at the very mention of the word "GUN!" I believe it's about inculcating the belief that "politics by other means" is the exclusive purview of the traditional military, because the powers that be have an unbreakable lock on politics by ordinary means.
There's certainly no lack of gunplay coming out of leftist Hollywood. It's not that the doyens of culture want to make everyone petrified of guns, per se; it's that they want to make guns as an instrument of political change...unimaginable.

i graduated class of ‘84, there’s so many things it’s mind boggling.
*We had school sanctioned smoking areas on school grounds
If you ran out of cigarettes the teachers let us go into the teachers lounge to get pack from a vending machine.
* There wasn’t hardly a guy in school that didn’t have a sheath with a buck knife in it on his belt.
*we had 22 shooting practice in gym class as well as an extracurricular shooting team.
* I think the only rules were no running in the halls and no chewing gum in class.

Agree. There needs to be a well funded national group that will provide aggressive legal defense in situations like this. Also, since this is war, they also need to fund investigations and exposes of the background of school officials whenever possible to make engaging in thought control stupidity very high indeed.

So many stories like this indicate that there is a nationwide attempt to reprogram little boys as pliable, effeminate little sissies. Hence my utter contempt for the communist-inspired educational system. Damn them all.
